A (PR)pull request is a method of submitting contributions to an open source project. It is often the preferred way of submitting contributions to a project using a Distributed Version Control System (DVCS) such as Git.
FreeCodeCamp is an Open Source project and all of the contents are freely editable.
- Fork the project on GitHub.
- Clone it to a local machine. Do not edit online in github.com, as the editor may cause issues with JSON formatted data.
- Create a branch with the form
fix/some-bugorfeature/add-cool-thingand make your changes in that branch and commit them. - Push the branch online (if editing locally).
- Create a pull request against the "staging" branch.
- The title (also called the subject) of your PR should be descriptive of your changes. i.e.
fix typo in basic-javascript challenge - If the PR is meant to fix a specific issue, append to the end of your PR's commit message
closes #1337. This tells GitHub to close that issue if the PR is merged. - Do NOT add issue numbers to the PR's title. i.e.
minor improvements in basic-javascript challenge

Note: Not all pull requests are accepted. FCC project maintainers will explain the reason of non-acceptance.
